The Best of 2009 Blog Challenge: XVIII

December 18th--Shop.

A sad but true fact is that Goodwill probably, most definitely, got most of this year's money.

It is sad because most (probably all) of that spending was frivolous spending.

It is frivolous because they were mostly (cough, all) wants that I don't have the money for.

I don't have the money for them because I do not have a job.

Rejoice with me friends, I currently have no taskmaster! Which is pretty awesome for obvious reasons and because so far in my job experiences (being a young teenaged person those experiences are quite minor, of course) I have not been particularly fond of any of my co-workers. Especially Michelle, she drove me nuts.

Anyways. I spent most of my money at Goodwill. I'm a fan of Goodwill and I'm also not a fan of Goodwill. Their policy and so on gets on my nerves but it's a place to buy cheap stuff for cheap prices so--what joy!--let's go shopping.

Eh, let's go shopping after I spend my Christmas Break staring at a computer screen and moving numbers between programs. Well, I guess that is only if I end up taking this job.

This is terrible. I blathering on about Goodwill and not liking people and Christmas Break in Mathemagic Land when I'm supposed to be writing on the esteemed subject of shopping in Goodwill in 2009.

Shopping on Halloween in Goodwill is a good idea if you want to weird yourself out. Goodwill was overrun with a population of males buying feminine clothes (shirts, skirts, tights, high-heels*, wedding dresses, etc.) to wear to their college roommate's Halloween party which they will not remember at all the next morning. Or something similar. I've never actually been a male buying feminine clothes to wear to my college roommate's Halloween party which I did not remember the next morning. Thank goodness for that.

(*Actual quote: "Hey, I'm looking for a pair of high-heels. I wear a size 13.") Good luck with that one, random creepy dude.)

Purchase of the year might possibly be my J. Peterman dress. Goodwill snatch-up. If you do not know who J. Peterman is than you may go to the website and sigh over all the $100+ outfits and other stuff. The outfit I now own (squee!) is an ugly color (in my opinion) but it is super comfortable and everyone needs a J. Peterman in their wardrobe.

Um. It is now 1AM. I think going to bed now would be a smart idea. Being at least half-way awake might be helpful tomorrow when I do some amazing acts of science studying. :D
I hung my latest science paper on the 'fridge because it is amazingly awesome--everything I do is amazingly awesome, of course, but this one was special--I shall sigh and be warm and fuzzy everytime I look at it from now on until the day it falls off the fridge and gets kicked into the Land of Lost, Forgotten, and Unloved School Papers.

On that depressing note, goodnight! Or, rather, good morning.
